WashPost's Chris Cillizza invites only Republicans to make predictions in column. [View all]

We asked a few political types to send us their fearless predictions too. Here's a few.

* Tom Davis (former Virginia Republican Congressman): "Republicans pick up Senate seat in Hawaii. Charles Djou will pick up the pieces of a late, bitter, internal Democratic primary that has generational and ethnic complications. Without a Presidential race to galvanize and polarize voters, the race will be a local cat fight."

* Dave Carney (Republican media consultant and adviser to Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott): "Wendy Davis will lose the Texas governorship by the same or slightly less margin than Bill White did four years ago." (White lost by 13 points.)

* Rob Stutzman (California-based Republican consultant): "Dan Schnur will become the first No Party Preference candidate to win statewide office under the new system when he wins the Secretary of State race. Schnur's victory will be deemed impossible under the old election system and his victory will be hailed as evidence that a political middle can emerge via top two general elections."
